Morning: The sermon, "Plenty of Work to Go Around," focused on Matthew 9:35-38. In this passage, Matthew offers a helpful summary of the ministry of Jesus. He explains Jesus' mission: to teach, preach, and heal. He explains Jesus' vision. When Jesus saw the world, he saw helpless, harassed sheep that desperately needed him. Matthew then explains Jesus' solution for the continued need. Jesus told us to ask God to send out workers into the field. The context suggest that we, his disciples, are the workers to be send. The Lord's mission is our mission. We need his vision to be our vision. We are called to be the solution.
Evening: We looked at Galatians 5:1-6. Paul reminds us that we have been set free, for freedom's sake. We should never allow ourselves to drift into legalism (or lawlessness). Instead, we must live our faith through love.
